Charles Sim Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Jul. 26 to Jul. 28, 2011.
May 21, 1949 - July 21 2011 Sim, Charles (Charlie, Big C) of Lachine, Quebec. Passed away suddenly but peacefully on July 21, 2011 while visiting friends in MacTier, ON. Will be sadly missed by his sons Charles (Eimer Sim) and Bret (Lisa Crawford). The ever protective big brother, Charlie leaves behind brothers Jackie (Pat), Robert, and Stewart; his little sister Lynda (Joey); his many nieces and nephews; and the mother of his children Beverly Vokey. Born in Airthrey Castle Scotland on May 21, 1949 to Charles and Esther Sim (both deceased), Charlie moved to Lachine in 1950 and was a Lachine boy through and through. Charlie lived life hard and made no apologies. Despite his gruff exterior he had a fierce love for his familiy and friends. An avid life long angler, Charlie spent his last day on the water fishing with a buddy, just the way he would have wanted. Family and friends are invited to the Lachine Legion (3015 Henri-Dunant) on Friday, July 29, 2011 to celebrate Charlie's life. Visitation from 3 to 8pm. Service at 5pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made Canadian Diabetes Society. "My name is Charlie Sim I don't have to have to do anything"

With a heavy heart I would like to extend our condolences to the Sim family, and all of Charlie's good friends. We will remember fondly the good times we shared with Charlie up in Pine Hill, and of course back in Lachine. Rest in peace Charlie, and when you have that game of golf with Moose see if you can help him out with that slice...

The nicest obituary I've ever read. I'll miss him at the St Patrick's day parade, the annual beerfest, but most of all visiting him at his place in Lachine. RIP buddy.

A very good choice of words to describe Charlie. He died way too young. Our deepest condolences to his sons and our nephews Charles and Bret. Also, our sister Beverly and Charlie's brothers and sister.
Rest in peace Charlie.
